Introducing Codex's product-design plugin, an AI design assistant that helps designers and product managers quickly convert requirements into working prototypes. It supports multi-directional exploration, Figma collaboration, and prototype publishing, accelerating the early stages of product design.

A new secret tool paired with Codex automates the entire Figma-to-code pipeline, collapsing a multi-week design system build into a 30-minute workflow that generates production code matching the design exactly.

Buddy is a free Figma agent that allows importing anything into Figma, simplifying design workflows.

Fluido is a tool that instantly transforms any Figma shape into liquid metal, available as a plugin for one-click application.

Paint By JSON is a tool that lets designers populate mockups with real API data as easily as using lorem ipsum placeholder text.

A tweet claims that connecting Codex to Moonchild can generate complete design systems, app screens, and production-ready code in under an hour, potentially disrupting design agencies.

Figma launches an AI agent within its collaborative canvas that allows users to generate, edit, and automate design tasks using natural language prompts, leveraging partnerships with OpenAI and Anthropic.

Anthropic launched Claude Design, an AI-driven end-to-end design workflow platform that reportedly erased $10B from Figma’s market cap within a week.

A drop-in design system tool that lets AI coding agents read and use Figma-based design systems directly.

OpenAI and Figma launch a seamless code-to-design integration using the Figma MCP Server, enabling developers to generate Figma designs from Codex and implement designs back into code with a bidirectional workflow.

Figma integrates AI throughout its platform—from text editing and image generation to Figma Make (a prompt-to-app tool) and Dev Mode MCP Server—positioning AI as both a platform shift and core capability that empowers designers and developers while maintaining human craft and control.

OpenAI has launched a product design plugin that allows designers to go from ideation to interactive prototypes within ChatGPT, and one-click export to Figma and publish as a website.
